MANTEIGARIA
Portas do Sol
Pastel de Nata in hand, Lisbon at your feet
The heart of Alfama beats stronger to the taste of Pastel de Nata with the best view of the city.
At Miradouro das Portas do Sol, the Pastel de Nata is already part of the landscape. The toasted yellow cream, wrapped in a perfectly melting crisp pastry, evokes the late afternoon light that illuminates the city. Whether on the way to the Castle, in between photos to share on the spot and remember later, or during a break after climbing through Alfama, Manteigaria Portas do Sol is a must-stop for anyone visiting the neighborhood. And for those who live here.
Here, the Pastel de Nata tastes of Lisbon, of home, of sunshine and light. It’s the perfect snack for locals, a flavor that brings together neighbors, travelers, and those who come specifically to taste it fresh from the oven. A sweet moment in the heart of the old city. So good, in fact, that some even forget about the view.
How to get to Portas do Sol’s Manteigaria
The Pastéis de Nata factory is located right in front of Miradouro das Portas do Sol, in the square of the same name, one of the main thoroughfares of Alfama. If you come by tram, the 28E and 12E will drop you off right next door, or you can also take bus 10B. The 737 stops at Largo do Contador Mor, which is just around the corner.
From the Sé, it’s just a few minutes’ walk uphill. From Castelo de São Jorge, it’s even less time downhill. Just follow the unmistakable aroma of freshly baked Pastel de Nata.
